Re: Remittances rise to $5.31bn in 10 months

Not supporting the article or implying that it is a good thing for the greedy, lazy @ss government to rely upon money of the hard work of NRPs who go through the torture of living away from home, but I do like to mention here that 100% of Pakistanis I have met who moved out of the country were not 'content' with what they had back home. Despite the fact that they held some respectable positions but they were not satisfied and wanted 'more'. So you can call it either 'greed for more' or simply desire of seeking more challenges in some other place around the world.

There are many Pakistanis who are content with what they have back home. I dont know what could be the other circumstances which motivate Pakistanis to move out of the country.

I was told the story of a pharmacy owner in Pakistan who, in his desperate 'desire for more' went to a middle eastern country only to end up working as a labourer at some construction site. Can you believe that? Who would do that? His pharmacy business was not doing too bad but he was not content. What if these same Pakistanis are willing to put the same amount of dedication, hard work, sweat, tough working hours and conditions in their own work back home, will they not improve their conditions in Pakistan itself? Will they still have to move out to accept these kinds of jobs for a 'better future'???

As for the article, it makes one sick to see how the government is so proud of encashing its' citizens' hard work abroad. Why would they not want all that talent back home to work for the country?
